Hoglander-Pettersson-Garland … good, good.

Bains still on the top line … seriously wtf do they see in this player.

Yeah, has Suter played in the top 6 yet? Tocchet seems really pissed off at his camp or something.

Seems like they’re easing him into the lineup post injury. I imagine his minutes will go up with time.

They also want to give Bains a real chance to show what he’s made of like they did with Raty, so they know what they have/what Bains needs to fix moving forward. The goal is likely to see if he can be a more skilled version of PDG. Thought his work rate was quite good last game, even if the results weren’t there.

Only issue is if he’s matched up against top line caliber players it’s also going to be hard for him to adjust that fast to the NHL.

Luostarinen — Lundell — Reinhart
Verhaeghe — Bennett — Rodrigues
Greer — Jesper Boqvist—Samoskevich
Gadjovich — Giles — Balinskis


These guys are still stacked


Also @Deeds26 killed it. I expect some good GDT/ PGT posts from him tonight

Best D pairings they’ve iced this season. Hopefully Brannstrom has a solid game so they don’t throw Forbort right back into the lineup.

I've been asking this since last season. He's shown nothing for the coaching staff to keep giving him chances yet how long did it take Tocchet to finally trust Hoglander in the top six?

It really feels like a blind spot of Tocchet because Bains is a workhorse type. Unfortunately, he lacks the skill to do anything but just try and keep up.
